Anyone else heard about this?
DHL seems to be the first domino to fall, but wouldn't be surprised if other shippers end up having the same problems after July 8th.

I'm curious where a lot of you buy your stuff from. Do you wait for it to come to the US through someone like BBTS or buy it directly from another company overseas?

I buy everything from amiami and hlj. Which dont allow cancellations of preorders. If this fucks me over and gets my shit mandhandled by fat fucking customs fuckets I am fucked and will probabaly just give up collecting. Some fucking demoralization psyop is going on or just grosss incompetence and its killing me.

Jesus, and just when I was thinking about ordering from Japan again. Guess I'll stick with buying domestically since it actually comes out cheaper now than shipping + tariffs if you're only buying one or two figures. China, of course, will find some way to outsmart this like they did the tariffs, so I expect I'll continue ordering from them. Starting to feel relieved that I'm pretty much out of space with how troublesome this hobby has become.

I keep asking this. Feels like the last couple years has seen regressive actions and policies when it comes to importing, especially for the average person. I don't think the bullshit is just limited to the US either based on what I've seen. But what is it all for? What is so bad from importing things from other countries? Why are we acting like trade is bad? At least just let people enjoy their hobbies and stop fucking them up like everything else. How much do (they) even gain from making things harder and more expensive for us? Probably not that much.

Amiami canceling process is automated. You only get flagged if the item is in stock and they were in the middle of processing it. Canceling too much all at once could also get their attention.

I'm probably an idiot, but when they mention Bandai, etc do they mean that any Bandai product gets an auto pass or is it that any product shipped directly by Bandai gets a pass? They mention HLJ so I am assuming it is the second option, but not totally sure. Either way, I keep telling myself importing can't get any worse and it somehow does.

Something about child safety and making sure all the stuff coming in marked as childrens toys has all the proper certificiations to ensure nothing contaminated with lead or toxic chemicals is given to them. This is due to a flood of shit for kids from Temu practically made of lead and toxins.

Just ask the store you use what their plan is coming up, it should be fine as long as a. They have all the proper certifications for childrens toys yo avoid destruction, or b. they don't mark the item as toys for kids but as collectors item for adults.

I think like 80% of things will remain unchanged. The only thing that will change is that we'll regress back to about the 1990s and you'll have to buy import stuff directly from retailers. Companies like Bandai and GSC already have a foothold here anyway, and domestic companies like Hasbro, Mattel, etc. etc. will all be the ones dealing with the certifications and stuff.

By the way, this stuff already exists, and has for years, its just that the certifications were only necessary if asked for. Now they just have to always be presented or whatever.

From what I've seen, the market taking the biggest hit will be used/second hand items. There may be a total collapse of importing second-hand merchandise, which really is a pretty big deal. Most places probably won't even sell used goods anymore. Maybe they still can/will if the product still has the box and all the packaging since it will have whatever info about the material in the item, but loose shit might just be dead to import anymore.

Also probably 3P figures from Chinese companies, or just small Chinese figure makers probably won't have the money or logistics (or possibly even just the desire) to certify their goods for minimal returns, unless the retailer/importer does all that footwork.

But who knows...

It's already happened to me.
I placed the order on April 27th, and it's been stuck in customs since May 3rd. I've been trying to figure out what's going on ever since.
Somehow AliExpress fucked me by updating the status to say it cleared customs on May 26th, even though it didn't but because of that update, I now have to wait an entire extra month(10 more days) before I can request a refund.
I see this thread and now it all makes sense

>I've heard the exact opposite that used goods is of less interest and even exempt.
That doesn't even make sense within the context of these rules, though. What sense does it make, when the whole point is to document what materials/chemicals may be in a toy, to let something through with absolutely no markings or material listings, or other identifying information?

Again, I think packaged second hand items would still probably be fine, but random loose stuff with no way to easily identify what it is probably won't go through well.

>5/12 On the other hand, figures/Nendoroids are usually OK, since Items that are clearly marked for ages 14+ or as adult collectibles don't require CPCs. If the packaging looks toylike or only has Jap tags, they may still be held for inspection.
>6/12 Larger companies like Good Smile are in a safe position here because they already produce items at scale and should already have the proper US safety certificates for their products and shipments. This shouldn't impact orders from them.
>7/12 However, proxy services, custom items from places like Etsy, and other small sellers are where things will be risky. Most of these sellers don't have the full US compliant CPCs needed for their products
>8/12 Starting July 8, anything under toy/plush HTS codes will be auto flagged in the system for review. Proxy services or etsy sellers etc are the importer of record when they forward a package to the US, so they must assign an HTS code as part of the shipping process.
>11/12 Does the shipping service matter? Technically no. The main triggers are still the HTS code, product type (plush/toy/doll), and whether proper CPC data gets e-Filed. All major carriers have to follow the same CBP and CPSC requirements.
>Finally, this change only affects shipments coming into the United States. If you live outside the US and are ordering to your own country these new CPC e-Filing rules and extra scrutiny don’t apply to you at all.
>>
>>11822689
>Yeah so a personal gift would he exempt from these rules, but the shipment needs to clearly appear to be of a personal nature and not look commercial in any way. You would want to make sure it's marked “Personal gift – not for resale” on the customs form, and that it also has something like a handwritten note inside. You can also ask the carrier to file a disclaimer message in ACE, which is the computer system customs uses to process imports, which clarifies its a personal non-commercial gift. The main thing to remember is that it can still get flagged by customs if it looks like a proxy order or shipment from a business. At that point you will have to prove otherwise to customs to have it released. So you want to avoid that as much as possible.

>Yes, CPC requirements have a partial exemptions for secondhand products, but only if the product was manufactured before a specific CPSC rule took effect. Secondhand products manufactured after the rules came into effect still require certification if they are children's toys intended for kids 12 and under. The "used" or "second hand" labeling alone does not inherently exempt them. Tbh most of these rules came into place between 2008 and 2010 so it would need to be some pretty old merch for it to be exempt in this way.

It's already starting. EU is going to start charging a 3 euro fee on July 1st PER ITEM coming in from China. So, if you order 5 things from Aliexpress, even if it's all packed together, you'll be paying 15 euros/$17.41. And this is just temporary until they eliminate their de minmis just like they did ours and charge a percentage of the total. In the interim, they're already talking about increasing it to 5 euros per item if it doesn't cut down on importing.

It guarantees job security for the customs officers but more importantly it's another nonsense but easily enforced tax to stuff
the governments, this or the previous one's, budget holes.
This is nothing though since every country does this to an extend. Look into the customs shenaningans of the UK, Germany or Italy for some real sheriff of Nottingham shit.
Basically the harder a country is failing into socialism, the more ordinary people get squeezed for cash.
tl;dr this anon is correct >>11822187.

Btw if you're a mib collector ordering from bbts or similar, good luck. If customs gets a hold on your stuff, every box where it is unclear what might be inside will be opened.
>>
>>11822711
I wouldn’t worry about it from BBTS, they have a large enough business customs will just waive their shit through. It’s the packages from little shops overseas that and person-to-person shipments that will get shredded by zoomer customs agents having a bad day.
>>
>>11822718
I should've been more clear or used a better example, my apologies. I meant international customers who order from BBTS outside the USA. Opening *suspicious* packages is standard procedure in a lot of europoor countries but is definitely going to be a new experience for US citizens.

Buy the same shit from Ebay sellers who already took the risk and now have it domestically. That's what I've been doing. A recent example is a repro G1 Optimus Prime where I paid the same price that ali express is selling it for but for someone who already has it in the US. For bonus points I waited 3 days to get it instead of north of two weeks.

Delusional. China's economy is literally circling the drain. Their TSF debt is rising out of control and youth unemployment keeps rising year over year and it's already double the rate of America's. China's a giant factory. Even if the US didn't make it harder for its citizens to buy from China, China would be headed towards collapse because they only know how to build factories. Their own people don't consume the stuff they make, and it's becoming worse because of the rising unemployment; their consumer confidence is at an all time low and probably going to get worse. I mean you could say this about most of the third world, too. Americans buying random plastic junk kept the world economy going for the past 70ish years. Jeetistan is fucked too even though those rats are trying to layoff as many Americans as possible and extract jobs. They're just going to collapse the tech dinosaurs and their economy and then make way for the next wave of AI powered ones. You thought things were bad for American CS grads? India is going to collapse because even near-free chinkshit AI can run circles around them, they're so dumb.

Expect things to get worse. For you, mostly.
>>
>>11822807
Using amiami is so stressful. If they just had a private warehouse option, it would be fine be fine because you can just store your items for a long period and until hopefully the situation improves. But the monthly order makes this stuff so much more annoying. With the exorbitant costs now, if you have a single thing delayed to another month with no orders, there goes your combined shipping benefit and you are stuck paying more than the item's price just to import or risk getting banned forever if you try to cancel at the wrong time.

The unfortunate thing is they are also the overall best Japanese site. The others have a bunch of issues or are more expensive or simply just don't carry the thing you want.

>>11822705
Even if its a local store they will need to have all the certifications for everything ready before it gets into customs and be ready to answer any questions about how its manufactured. What's going to happen is if there's no way around it by using a category like collectibles, then they're not going to stock anything from people without certifications, because it's too risky to have all that product destroyed. It will one shot indie brands, and a lot of chinese brands.

It's usually its own piece of paper thats affixed to the package with plastic protecting it, listing every item inside its value and its code. Sometimes customs leaves it on sometimes they take it and keep it. Since it's e-file now, I've been seeing them less. You might be able to talk to your store, send them the guidance, and ask if anything falls under those categories.

Oh man we're sure missing out damn

Weird bait post.

America is way too greedy and corrupt. You can't boycott shit because there's always that one idiot who will buy it and fuck everything up.

>>11822927
This is true until July 8th.

Buy American and you will never have this problem.

>the Biden-Harris administration
Why's it called that? No one says "the Obama-Biden administration" or "the Trump-Pence administration" or even "the Trump-Vance administration"
>>
>>11823535
And anyone who uses a middle man site like Zenmarket probably, right? Maybe someone should ask Zenmarket, buyee, etc. how they'll deal with this
>>
>>11822766
GSC has it, but I hesitated ordering from there after people talked about credit card leaks, and them never addressing it. I guess the risk is worth taking over having my stuff shredded, though.
>>
>>11823555
Because a rotting animated cadaver and an actual retarded whore kind of barely add up to one real person.
>>
>>11823555
I saw Trump-Pence and Obama-Biden a few times back in the day. I guess people don't even feel like pretending Vance has a say in anything.
>>
>>11823154
Thank you and sorry if I seemed upset. It’s bad enough shipping prices are just as much as the product so hearing about this just made me snap a bit.
>>
>>11823590
Some shopping services are good about this stuff and others aren't so it depends. It would be safest to ask them though, yes.
>>
>>11823646
I feel you brother, it's been a rough year.

I was talking about local eu stores, they're fine from this and they ended up more reliable because they got more stuff over the years and I don't deal with shipping while the price is comparable, maybe 10 euro more than importing myself most of the time
>>
>>11822243
Not the point.

>>11823677
So talk to your store, dingbat.

Hey that's not bad at all.

I was going to give my kid a 20 pound box of iron ore and a golf cart EV battery for Christmas but CROOKED JOE BIDEN ruined it

GSC US switched from handling payments themselves to using Stripe/Link as a payment processor after the hack
they've still never addressed it

I fucking swear, if this gets delayed one more time...

>>11822419
>all it actually does is fuck over citizens and small businesses
This is exactly the goal. Discourage citizens from spending their money out of the country, obliterate any small businesses with any kind of market, and funnel your money directly to the government. This is entirely beneficial for the burger corpos.
>>
>>11823737
I was just about to post this. I've had this fucker preordered since day one, and every delay just pushes it into more dangerous/expensive territory. I just want my fucking robo-husbando.
>>
>>11823732
Yeah, because they surely would've stopped there, right? Oh, wait.
>In announcing these rules, the Administration warned that "further comprehensive de minimis reforms are needed, and these reforms require congressional action.
>Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) led the bipartisan push, citing the need to close a loophole that has harmed American manufacturers, endangered consumers, and undermined fair competition.
This was always coming regardless of which party was in charge.

>>11823737
we might see the goodsmile version come out before this with all the delays it’s had
>>
>>11823732
>you are AMERIKKAN so you get 400% on EV battery
More like we want to discourage buying products of slavery but yeah ok make it retarded so you can whine about it, go off queen
>>
>discourage products of slavery
lmfao explain our prison system then
>>
>>11824023
When you are put away for fucking over society, you absolutely should have to spend your time working for society to make up for it.

This is very different from child slaves and race or religion based slavery in China. Those did nothing wrong to deserve it. You have to do something wrong to go to prison.
>>
>>11823737
I'm sure nothing else bad will happen in the next 48 hours, ha, ha, ha...
>>

>race or religion based slavery in China
You're not about to start crying about how the poor heckin Wiggers aren't allowed to do islamic terrorism, are you?
Moral grandstanding aside, EV batteries are just terrible for the environment both in the process of mining their raw materials and in their hazardous state after they die.

Yeah plus the mining conditions and slavery for the lithium. Good thing we dont use those specific mines for american lithium amirite guys? :)
>>
>>11824052
Not him but that's incorrect, plenty of innocent people go to prison. That they will be turned into slaves to make the next generations toys is only adding insult to the injury.
>>
>>11824404
Imprison scalpers and then we're talking

DHL was my only reliable option for Mandarake... am I fucked?
